Patented prime numbers (cpunks.org)

Although the primes are included in the patent, are they the subject of the patent? Follow the logic here:- If NO: Then they themselves are not patented but the "Partial modular reduction method" is. If YES: Then these specific primes were an intrinsic part of the patent then I can use the "Partial modular reduction method" with different primes and crypto-primitives and not risk prosecution for patent infringement.
